IC 20-51-4-10: Distribution to both eligible individual and school

Sec. 10. The department shall distribute choice scholarships at least twice each semester, or at equivalent intervals. The department may distribute the choice scholarship to the eligible choice scholarship student (or the parent of the eligible choice scholarship student) for the purpose of paying the educational costs described in section 4(a)(1)(A) of this chapter. For the distribution to be valid, the eligible choice scholarship student (or the parent of the eligible choice scholarship student) and the eligible school providing educational services to the eligible choice scholarship student must annually sign a form, prescribed by the department to endorse distributions for the particular school year. If:

(1) an eligible choice scholarship student who is receiving a choice scholarship for a school year changes schools during the school year after signing the form to endorse distributions for that school year; and

(2) the eligible choice scholarship student enrolls in a different eligible school that has not signed the form to endorse distributions for that school year;

the eligible choice scholarship student (or the parent of the eligible choice scholarship student) and the eligible school must sign the form prescribed by the department to endorse distributions for the particular school year.
